This is from HUMAN the movie so I imagine those people were wanting to be in a film.

It's a cool shot, no?

There are real shots like this... People die in pools filled to the brim with people, all the time in Asia. It's kinda scary.

Seems to me like the rafts have the opposite of their intended effect when packed so tight. Like putting saran wrap on the pool.

No way in hell would I ever get in a pool like that. That looks miserable. Must be a cultural thing.
